Well, another spring break has came and went. This one was non-stop Action. I'll start with a video and a couple of pics. It's gonna take a couple of days for this tale to unfold. We have a ton of great pics and some really cool videos but are having trouble posting the vids...trying to get it worked out. I celebrated my 15th Birthday in the woods chasing hogs last week, with my Dad.
The Surtees' Clan is coming up this week-end for some Bowfishing and socializing so Mom has me cleaning :(
